A river current carried a fallen tree branch 1 over 3 of a mile in 1 over 4 of an hour. At what speed is the water in the river flowing, in miles per hour?

Respuesta :

the answer is one and one over three

In miles per hour, 4/3 speed represents the flow of water in the river, and its calculation can be defined as follows:

Speed calculation:

Distance = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] miles

Time= [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] hours

speed=?

Speed Definition:

An object's speed is indeed the pace at which it moves along a path in time, whereas its velocity is the rate and direction of travel.

The formula for calculating the speed:

[tex]\to[/tex] speed =[tex]\bold{\frac{Distance}{time}}[/tex]

               [tex]=\frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{1}{4}}\\\\={\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{4}{1}}\\\\={\frac{4}{3}}\\\\[/tex]

Therefore, the calculated speed of water flow is [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] miles per hour.
